SAMR - The Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition Model offers a method of seeing how computer technology might impact teaching and learning. It also shows a progression that adopters of educational technology often follow as they progress through teaching and learning with technology.
A SAMRi is an educator who has embraced the ideas of the SAMR framework in their teaching and practice. A SAMRi's journey is never complete but one that grows and evolves as they develop their abilities to transform their teaching, and the learning of their students. The SAMRi teacher uses the SAMR ladder of questions as a guide to their use of technology, new and old, in their teaching.
The SAMR Ladder of Questions and Transitions
Substitution:
• What will I gain by replacing the older technology with the new technology?
Substitution to Augmentation:
• Have I added an improvement to the task process that could not be
accomplished with the older technology at a fundamental level?
• How does this feature contribute a design?
Augmentation to Modification:
• How is the original task being modified?
• Does this modification fundamentally depend upon the new technology?
• How does this modification contribute to my design?
Modification to Redefinition:
• What is the new task?
• Will any portion of the original task be retained?
• How is the new task uniquely made possible by the new technology?
